Grading The Stars: Patrick Mahomes II, Kansas City Chiefs – There’s just something about the stars. They’re mesmerizing. Whether it’s the stars in sports, entertainment or in the sky, they captivate us with their dazzling ways and continue to shine ever so brightly for all of us to see.
In the Grading The Stars series, we’ll feature the stars of the past, present and future and grade them based on their prestige, performance and promise. Plus, we’ll highlight three cool cards of a star to collect under a certain dollar figure.
There are five grading levels of the stars: 10 = Icon (Blue Diamond), 9.5 = Legend (Platinum), 9 = Superstar (Gold), 8.5 = Star (Silver) and 8 = Rising Star (Bronze).
Today, we’ll feature a man who in just a handful of seasons has put together a resume worthy of lofty expectations. He’s a Super Bowl Champion and was the MVP of Super Bowl LIV; he won the 2018 NFL MVP and is a 4-time Pro Bowler, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes II.
The Grim Reaper: Patrick Mahomes was made for the spotlight and got an early taste of it, as his father, Pat Sr., was a former MLB pitcher. Mahomes has rewritten the family legacy and put the NFL on notice since he debuted. The opposition fears his every move.
Next In Line: When the ageless Tom Brady decides to walk away from the NFL, Mahomes is next in line to potentially collect multiple Super Bowls and create his own iconic path. He’s one of the most dynamic QBs the NFL has ever seen and will only get better.
Future Outlook: Even though the 26-year old Mahomes committed a career-high 17 turnovers in 2021, it shouldn’t be viewed as a sign of regression. It was likely a learned lesson. Mahomes’ potential is limitless, and he’s definitely one to add to your collection.
Grade: 9 = Superstar (Gold)
